I love this aphorism, Marty! A turtle walking slowly through the world is an excellent analogy. Take your time now and then, pay attention to what’s around you and savor the moment So much is missed when everything just races by you.

I couldn't afford to be slow when I was young. Getting older, I could afford to slow down a bit but too many things crying out for my attention. Now at an advanced age, nobody care whether I'm fast or slow, and I can be attentive to life itself which unfortunately is beginning to lose interest in me.
